The &quot;Indian&qu...I can&#39;t help but comment. The &quot;Indian&quot; doesn&#39;t refer to the recipe, but to the cornmeal ingredient. In the old days of the United States, and especially in New England, the grain we know as &quot;corn&quot;, and known elsewhere in the world as &quot;maize&quot;, was almost universally referred to as &quot;Indian corn&quot;. The word &quot;corn&quot; was synonymous with the modern usage of &quot;grain&quot;. So to differentiate, they used the term &quot;Indian corn&quot;, as opposed to, for instance &quot;barley corn&quot;. Anything with corn in it subsequently came to be called &quot;Indian&quot; as a kind of shorthand.<br />VaxGhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623679469599563772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-47481059464840188262013-06-03T23:19:44.674-04:002013-06-03T23:19:44.674-04:00Ate this growing up.

My parents were from the North (as in Yankees) and we lived in the South, but my mother made various dishes to please my dad who was born and raised in MA. Indian pudding was considered a fall dessert, usually made from Halloween through the winter. <br /><br />It has an almost runny consistency even when fully baked. The flavor is full bodied and when served with Hard Sauce (basically butter with powdered sugar vanilla &amp; mixed together) it is divine. <br /><br />It IS the consistency of baby shit and pretty much looks like it, but don&#39;t think of that way, instead think of it as wonderful...Eleanor I.

It was served in the restaurant that I mostly frequented for lunch. It wasn&#39;t the traditional smooth pudding but, rather, a little grainy in texture. As I recall, it was a bit lighter in color than yours. It appeared in the fall and am guessing it&#39;s considered a harvest type of dessert. <br /><br />Have a delicious weekend.<br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-2886003699255346282011-12-03T09:52:12.602-05:002011-12-03T09:52:12.602-05:00As Penny Wolf says - I think we are talking Native...As Penny Wolf says - I think we are talking Native American rather than Asian subcontinent!

I&#39;ve been planning to make it and blog about it because I haven&#39;t had it since I moved out to California... now that I&#39;m back in New England I&#39;m craving it. I remember it being slightly loose when hot, which is how it needs to be eaten. I always have mine with vanilla ice cream melting into it, so it gets even looser. I will be making it soon, so we&#39;ll see how mine turns out.<br />I did see a canned version of it at my supermarket, which would suggest that some people like it firm, as well.Sue/the view from great islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366703419148959445noreply@blogger.com
